Bathrooms are places where we clean up after ourselves. Sadly, they also tend to be the dirtiest and can harbor a lot of germs and bacteria if neglected for too long. Deep cleaning is a habit every home owner should develop and do it at least every month. If this is too much elbow grease for you, it is important to hire a professional cleaning service to assist you with the job. We at Nightingale Cleaning Company offer the most exquisite bathroom cleaning services in Kenya.
During a deep clean, there are areas in the bathroom that should be given the utmost attention. The following is a list of areas to be considered and how to clean them.
Remove clutter
Over time, the bathroom can be filled with a lot of junk that take up space. Get rid of all empty product bottles that needed to be thrown out yesterday, old toothbrushes and towels, soap leftovers and items that do not belong in the bathroom. Remove the shower curtains, bath mats and rugs and have then cleaned separately.
Walls
Scrub the bathroom walls with soapy water and an abrasive scrub pad or steel wool. This will ensure that you remove soap scum that sits on the wall. Clean from the top coming to the bottom. Clean in sections as you move and scrub in circular motions. Rinse with clean water.
Soap holder
As you clean the walls soak the soap holder in warm water to loosen the soap residue. Scrape off the residue and clean the soap holder using soapy water and scrub or brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Toothbrush holder
Toothbrush holders trap residual toothpaste, saliva, dirt and sometimes even blood every time you brush your teeth. Clean this thoroughly and remove all the residue by first soaking the holder in warm soapy water to loosen the gunk. Then scrub using a bottle brush to get into the unreachable crevices. Finally rinse and let it dry.
Sinks and bathtubs
Pour bleach on to the bathtubs and sink and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This will remove all stains and scum in it. Scrub down the tabs and sinks with and abrasive scrub and remove all dirt. For the taps use an old toothbrush or regular brush and cleaning solution to remove lime scale.
Toilet
Dust and wipe of the toilet cistern. For the toilet bowl, pour bleach and let this sit as you clean the walls. Rinse and then clean with regular toilet cleaner. Let the cleaner sit for 15 minutes the proceed to scrubbing thoroughly. This will remove all tough stains and dirt. Scrub outside the toilet bowls then rinse with clean water and wipe with a clean dry cloth.
Shower curtains
Take out the shower curtain and clean it. If it is linen, wash by hand or use a machine if recommended. For plastic shower curtain, replace them with new ones as they can be hard to clean and get rid of germs completely. Remember to wipe down the curtain rods.
Floors
After the whole bathroom is clean finish with cleaning the floors. Use a scrubbing powder suitable for the type of flooring at the house. Clean from the farthest corner towards the door. Mop with clean water and dry it. Replace bath mats and rugs.
